It rained Saturday, so no construction headway was made. It was such a dreary day that I felt the need to nap for a great part of the afternoon. Today, Sunday, is a bit better but I have not had the want to much of anything. I am working inside the house, and it is [...]
Leaps and bounds; leaps and bounds!!
Ann got the front yard seeded. She is meticulous. It took her two afternoons, but she got it done.
You can see her line in pink. That is the line for the porch. Well, two feet of it will be plants and the other eight feet will be covered porch.( [...]
